This SAE Information Report is intended to provide users and producers of metallic shot and grit with general information on methods of mechanically testing metal shot in the laboratory.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes chemical composition, and physical characteristic requirements for high-carbon cast-steel shot to be used for shot peening or blast cleaning operations.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes chemical composition, and physical characteristic requirements for high-carbon cast-steel shot to be used for shot peening or blast cleaning operations.

This SAE Recommended Practice pertains to blast cleaning and shot peening and provides for standard cast shot and grit size numbers. For shot, this number corresponds with the opening of the nominal test sieve, in ten thousandths of inches1, preceded by an S. For grit, this number corresponds with the sieve designation of the nominal test sieve with the prefix G added. These sieves are in accordance with ASTM E 11. The accompanying shot and grit classifications and size designations were formulated by representatives of shot and grit suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and automotive users.
